Dear Parents,

I hope that you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter. It was such a special weekend for our parish and it was wonderful to see so many families at the parish liturgies over the Easter weekend.

Parish news

Our parish Priests Fr Satheesh, Fr Joseph and Fr Biju are very excited and have some wonderful ideas for our future family masses. They are always so welcoming and want families to feel welcome at mass.

Our next parish family mass will be on Sunday 14 April. All families are welcome and there will be a special treat for the children after the mass.
